Re: [Boost-users] [test] Unexpected Exceptions

Hi,

What is the intended behavior of Boost.Test if an unexpected exception is thrown? Example:

void do_not_throw() throw() { throw "unexpected"; }

Some of my applications using Boost.Test seem exit with an error code of 0 (successful) if an unexpected exception is thrown. Is this the intended behavior?

What compiler are you using? It seems that MSVC for example does not follow standard here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7twc8dwy(VS.80).aspx gcc seems to be aborting the application. Gennadiy
